Pardus Lookout
We protect the privacy of the data on your computer by using the camera of your Debian based Pardus operating system.
The application is written in Python programming language, the visual interface is written with the Qt framework, and the AI, that is, face detection, is provided with the Google MediaPipe framework.
If it is necessary to explain the general logic of the application, faces are searched with Google MediaPipe in the images taken from your camera, after these face detections, your computer will protect itself according to the mode you choose.
Mods and Actions
Mode 1 (Screen Privacy) : If more faces are detected than the tolerable number of faces you selected in this mode, it means that your computer is in danger, that is, it is being watched. If your computer is being watched, it will react according to the action you choose.
Mode 2 (Screen Sentry) : In this mode, you can use it in situations where you have to leave your computer on and not be able to stand by (for example, updates or downloads), if a face is detected between the start and end dates, it means that someone other than you is at the computer. If you are not at your computer, it will react according to the action you choose.
